As a result of this measure, the Gomathi Rich (50 kg bag) is available for farmers at Rs 1215 against its MRP of 1240 and Gomathi Gold at Rs 1300 against its MRP of Rs 1370.
The decision to extend the subsidy was taken by the Milma Director Board, informed Shri KS Mani, Chairman Milma. Shri Mani urged dairy farmers across the state to take maximum benefit out of this subsidy on cattle feed.
